1-Week Photography Camp for Teens

Locations: New York City, Los Angeles, Mumbai

The 1-Week Photography Camps for teens is an intensive exploration of still photography in the digital age. Summer campers receive hands-on instruction and experience with the tools necessary to research, compose, capture, and refine digital photographic projects. We encourage our students to be creative and to think of each project as a concise statement of artistic, documentary, journalistic, or commercial intent. Campers will learn professional techniques in practical labs, go on field trips to photograph an infinite variety of locations and subjects, and learn to use industry-standard digital imaging software.

Campers explore a full repertoire of light and shadow techniques with professional lighting, grip hardware, strobe lighting, and unconventional practical sources of light and shadow. Classes include lectures and demonstrations from professional photographers to enrich campers’ experience of working professional-grade studios. Students will present their work in class, creating a body of photographs of which they can be proud.

All 1-Week Photography students at our New York City or Los Angeles campuses are required to bring with them to the camp a digital camera with manual exposure control.
